"Nije ljubav stvar" (English: Love Is Not an Object) was the Serbian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, performed by Željko Joksimović, who had previously represented the country eight years earlier in Istanbul when it was Serbia and Montenegro, finishing as runner-up to "Wild Dances" by Ruslana.

After successfully qualifying from the second semi-final, it finished in 3rd place with 214 points.

Više sreće drugi put
Kažeš mi to tako lako
Vidim da nam ne ide
A još kako moglo je
I ako odeš ti nešto tvoje znaj tu će ostati

Nije ljubav stvar da bi ti je vratio
Gledaj to sam samo ja, uvek sam te voleo
Nije ljubav stvar pa da ne znam šta ću s njom
Želim ti sve najbolje, ova ljubav samo moj je brodolom

Nije tvoja ljubav stvar da bi ti je vratio
Gledaj to sam samo ja, uvek sam te voleo
Nije moja ljubav stvar pa da ne znam šta ću s njom
Želim ti sve najbolje, to moj je brodolom

Idi samo, samo idi tamo
Leti, pevaj, srce drugome daj
A znaj da zbogom nije kraj

Nije moja ljubav stvar pa da ne znam sta ću s njom

Želim ti sve najbolje, ova ljubav samo moj je brodolom

Better luck next time
Saying it to me so easily
I see we’re not doing fine
And we could’ve done it all much better
And if you leave there’ll be something of yours remaining here

Love is not a thing that I could give it back to you
Look it’s only me, I’ve always loved you
Love is not a thing to not know what to do with it
I wish you all the best, this love is my shipwreck only

Your love is not a thing that I could give it back to you
Look it’s only me, I’ve always loved you
My love is not a thing to not know what to do with it
I wish you all the best, it’s my shipwreck

Just go, just go there
Fly, sing, give your heart to someone else
But keep in mind that goodbye is not the end

My love is not a thing to not know what to do with it

I wish you all the best, this love is my shipwreck only
